What are PEGs/Polyethylen Glycols?
Polyethylen Glycols are commonly used as synthetic emulsifiers and combine the water and oil phase in skin care products. They are very problematic chemicals as they have been found to open the pores of the skin and facilitate environmental toxins to enter the body more easily. Examples of these environmental toxins are DDT, DDE and have the ability to influence the endocrine and reproductive systems.
